Remind me what CPU and GPU you are playing on right now?
2 I5 3470 based systems with low profile 4GB RX 550 video cards, and 1 Ryzen 5 5500 tower, also with RX 550 video card. The video is overkill for any of the games we play, the vast majority of which are casual 2D titles. (most recently, I played Age of Fear 4, and now I'm playing Space Run) The only ones my kids play with really much of any 3D are Marvel Lego Superheroes, Minecraft, and Spintires, and several other 3D games that are about 10 years old, & would run fine on integrated graphics.

I'm finally going to replace one of the I5 3470 systems. I have 32GB memory, 1TB XD80 SSD, hard drive for additional storage, motherboard, non riplocked DVD drive, a 5 1/4" drive bay stereo speaker set, and a Tower that I've used to build systems since about 2000. Still need to decide on a mouse, mechanical keyboard, power supply & processor. Usually these days I just buy a used desktop PC & upgrade it, but this time I'm actually building my own from parts that I've bought from sales over the past 6 to 8 months.

I can see why you are taking your time. Everything you guys are playing runs on a potato. Hold out, and keep your eye on the for sale forum. Always great deals like my $115 5600X floating through there. EVGA B stock is a good place to look for PSUs. The BF thru Cyber Monday sales usually have some killer deals too. I picked up a EVGA 850w Bronze semi modular a few years back for $50 shipped off Amazon.

Has anyone picked up a newer 5800X non 3D, with a 22xx production date?

I am wondering how they do on temps versus the first ones; I have a system primarily used for gaming and web browsing that has an early chip that just runs hot when gaming, even with ECO mode, offset, under-volt, etc.

I have a 2106 5800X I am debating swapping in, but am also thinking about trying a 22xx chip from flea-bay or *maybe* buy a couple from antonline flea-bay and pick the newest one and try it.

Updated to AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.8 ( Beta )
Ran thru a few benchmarks.
AIDA shows lower Nanos.
3dMark = same
Assassin's Creed = 3 frame gain

I'll keep it.

Hmm, wonder if Ryzen 5900/5950 CPUs will be coming down anymore in price - or if this is it (apart from the occasional $10-20 off sale).

I can't comment directly on a 5800X comparison but my 5950X is B2 stepping with a 2022 production date and my 5800X is a B0 stepping with an early 2021 production date. Despite having half the cores, the 5800X runs 10-12C hotter under similar ~8 core work loads.

Same ambient temp, same B550 ITX board, and same Dark Rock Pro 4.

Now that I upgraded my old GTX1060 to RX6800XT, maybe my 5600XT might get refreshed to 5800X3D.

I'm not sure I play enough to justrify it though. I might keep the cash to a future upgrade to AM5 once prices settle down (cheap Zen5 when Zen6 comes ?)

only incentive i see you on that upgrade is if your still playing in 1080p on a game which is breaking over 200fps and you have a 240fps monitor.

Otherwise its a wash, unless you really need the extra cores for something else.
Your much better off investing in another SSD or a nVME as it will give you more storage for games and other things.

Fun facts with Asus motherboards. Or at least the Rog Strix B450-F. You have to use Fat partitions and probably 32GB or less flash drives for it to read the cap files for Bios updates. I tried with a 64GB e-fat partition but it would not recognize it. So keep your 4GB-16GB flash drives handy.

FAT32 can handle up to 32gigs.
Which is why i always keep 8-32gig flash drives on hand.
8gb is also a very nice size for a OS restore USB.

Not quite : 32" 4K@60Hz.
NVME it will be.

Oh and btw, I checked and my B450 mobo tells me my lovely RX6800 runs its PCIE@8X only (NVME drive being the culprit). Since it is B450 it also is PCIEv3.

PCIE3@8X insted of PCIE4@16X might bring a real world BW issue ? It's about a fourth of the theoretical BW after all...

4K your bottle neck will ALWAYS be GPU.
So yes... i agree with your choice.. nVME is probably a better investment.

Oh and btw, I checked and my B450 mobo tells me my lovely RX6800 runs its PCIE@8X only (NVME drive being the culprit). Since it is B450 it also is PCIEv3

Do you already have more then 1 nVME?
If your only using 1, it should allow you to run in 16x.
If not, your probably using the wrong nVME port.

I opted to go to a 5800X3D (from a 3700X) because its way cheaper to upgrade to that CPU than it is to go to an X670 board and 7K CPU. While at the same time having better performance in games than most 7K CPUs.

PCIe 8x is not going to bottleneck your GPU. There have been a lot of tests with various lane widths and PCIe gens. Its also pretty common for the GPU slot to run at 8x if you have NVMe drives.

Kudos to AMD for continuing to optimize Zen 3. I know a lot of you hate userbenchmark. I only use it to compare apples to apples. When I update chipsets, drivers, bios etc. I run the benchmark to make sure my components are functioning correctly.

I do not have a second to none approach with my PC builds. I take a value approach to everything. So after updating to the latest AMD AGESA bios (5003) for Asus B450-F and chipset drivers. I am seeing a 100% tile of the 5600 which is a 109% score. I am seeing a 10% bump in my E-Die Micron sticks from 106% to 116% which is unheard of from all of my testing. Latency is down 10ms for the DDR4 sticks. Which means it's either the new AGESA from AMD or the chipsets or a combination of both.

While Intel has the shoot for the moon approach. What you see it was you get. Wait until next gen and buy a new motherboard. AMD is the little engine to could. It's like Christmas in March with these performance improvements. Nicely done, AMD!

I know this thread has fallen by the wayside, but just wanted to toss out there that I snagged a $101 all in 5600x to replace a 2200g in my suddenly popular (thanks to Hogwarts Legacy) spare computer with my old 980Ti.

5600x's seem to still be going for $150 brand new, and still largely going for $120 or used, so 33% off new aint too shabby for a still newish drop in upgrade I think.

Given GPU prices are still kinda nuts, even used, and the 980ti does yeoman's work at 1080p so long as its fed correctly with the right CPU, I'll probaby stick with this build for couch gaming for the foreseable future.

Like my last used purchase saga for the sig rig, I'll update when it actually arrives and how my 980Ti does.

I picked up a 5600X last year for the same money. Set it to ECO mode with the +200MHz boost, and it pushes a 6600XT just fine. Runs cool and quiet in one of my NR200 with a 120mm AIO. No sacrifices like with the Cezanne 5500 at that price either.

I probably won't move on from AM4 until after Zen 5 is out. Or if AM5 gets a fun desktop APU to play with. Whichever comes first.
